Pre-professional Summer Intensive  

July 3rd - July 30th

Ages 12-18

Monday-Friday 9:30-1:15

 

Artistic Directors Meridith Benson & Mario de la Nuez lead the group of professional world class instructors that make de la’s intensive a great experience in the art of dance. Our goal is to help foster the physical, technical, mental, emotional and artistic development of all students in small classes with a lot of individual attention. Classes will be taught by de la Directors and Staff,  select members of the company and guest faculty. Classes are geared to the serious dancer who needs a great training ground but desires smaller classes, personal attention, and a variety of dance forms. de la offers a unique blend of excellent training in a nurturing environment. We meet each individual dancer where they are.

We work on the basics of the pointe technique, spending needed time at the barre doing basic releves and strengthening foot exercises to improve the dancer’s ability to perform variations and choreography on pointe with strength and finesse. We teach the whole body approach to pointe work working on proper alignment, rotation, and placement.

The intensive is a 4 or 5 week program that consists of a 2 hour ballet technique class Monday through Friday followed by 1 1/2 hr pointe class 3 days/wk and variations 2 days/wk.
